Maybe te 8% increase is because those using syg that have to use deadly force are better shots than the criminal was?.... Also... Homicide is not the same as murder. Homicide is just the killing of another human. It not necessarily a crime. Murder on the other hand is a crime. They do not say that the murder rate went up, or maybe I missed it...

Justifiable homicides may have gone up 8%, but the way that was worded makes it sound like criminal murders went up. That was intentional, I'd bet. I can all but guarantee criminal murders - along with other violent crimes - went down.
